This is a discussion in a series to determine how to re-legalize the 25 movie block cards that are banned in "House Rules".
The list of all the cards can be found here.These "unbanning" discussions will be done in parallel through June 15th, 2011, at which time, we will vote on the solution we will use for each card.
Note: I will update the "Proposed Solution" section of this post as the discussion progresses.
Here we go! Let the discussion begin!
The Card Gondorian Captain Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Knight.Fellowship: Discard a fortification to remove a threat.
Current SituationFOTR: N/A
TS: N/A
Movie: Banned (because of loop with
Base of Mindolluin)
Legalizing Options- Legalize as is (i.e. allow 4 per deck -- can be done per format)
- Restrict as is (i.e. allow 1 per deck -- can be done per format)
- Errata (i.e. change game text and allow 4 per deck -- affects all formats)
Proposed SolutionIn this case, either just legalizing or restricting the card as is would still allow the loop to exist.
Therefore, errata of
Gondorian Captain (or
Base of Mindolluin) is the only option that would work.
Gondorian Captain Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Knight.Fellowship: Discard a fortification to remove a threat (limit once per turn).
